There is Jlse Marvenga the *“Kathie” of the original New York company playing the “Student Prince;"” then there is Roy Cropper, who played the role of Prince Karl in the same production; add Joc Mendelson, who played, and sung in the role of “ranz Schubert in “Blossom Time;" stir in Tom Mor- {gan and Evetya Darville, put them | on the same stage and you have an aggregation ;of principals worth hearing. Give them, for support, a large ensemble of trained singers, attractive setting, a plot that pro- vides an interesting although im- probable story, a few songs that hit you in the ear and the mind and the heart and you should have the big- | gest hit in years. For the time be- ing its progress toward the ranks of the big hits—they call them “smagh>s” in New York where “hit” |is altogether too mild—is retarded by the fact, as mentioned previous'y, that it lacks a punch. A show, like a man or woman, either has “it" or hasn't “it.” Just what ] isn't known. Before many weeks, play doctors should be able to de- termine what is lacking. When they find that and add it to the play, watch it burn up the world of the stage. “Nobody's Girl” s the daughter of a Czechoslovikia municipal offi- cial who has disappeared under the cloud of euspected embezzlement. Her mother has social aspirations and tries to marry her to a dessicat- ed old roue with a title but no morals. Her father reappears and, with the assistance of several friends hides her away for three months. Now it seema that Johnnie Crow, an American boy, who crawled into a German alrplane at Mineola, L. T., to see what made the wheels go round, accldentally turned on the ig- nition and flew to Czechoslovakia! He knew the girl's father in America and, lke all Yankees in musicul comedies, is ready and anxious to defy all the laws of Caechoslovakia, just as he defled the luw of grav tion, to rescue the maiden in dis- tress. Which he succeeds in doing with Yankee perspicacity and dis- patch. ““Nobody's Girl” falls in love with Roy Elvon, an art student and their romance forms another inter- esting thread of the story. The play has one of those happy endings. Songs which are remembere clude “When Love is Near,” “Inva Little While,” “Wishing Song” and “Thia is My Dance.” The male chorus excels in & drinking song in the second act in which the volume and harmony are quite the equal of anything heard in these parts for several years. The girls of the en semble have excellent voices; it is obvious that they were chosen for their talent. The score was written by William Ortman, who has personal direction of the orchestra; the book is by John E. Young, and the lyrics by Gus Kahn and Ray Egan. The mu- sical numbers are staged by Bushby Bergeley. The show under the direction of John A. Reed. “Nobody's Girl”. is booked for the first half of the week, with a mat- inee on Wednesday.
